Abstract
An investigation of the influence of hammer peening on fatigue crack initiation and propagation in high-strength steel has been performed using edge notch specimens. The crack initiation time was found to decrease after peening; however, the fatigue crack growth stage remained unchanged or decreased depending upon the peening parameters. The results have been used to develop an analytical model to predict the fatigue crack growth rate in peened materials, based upon the compressive residual stress effect.
